Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Asset management is an important part of any organisation, as it allows them to extract value from their assets. The publicly-available specification for asset management (PAS 55) outlines what a standardised asset management system should consist of. The newly-proposed series of standards from the International Organizations for Standardization (the ISO 55000 series) also aims to provide a standardised framework for an asset management system. Both of these documents, however, only tell organisations what should be done, not how to do it. This article provides an introductory overview of numerical tools that an organisation can use when implementing an asset management system, and provides resources for further reading.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Batebestuur is ‘n belangrike aspek van enige organisasie. Batebestuur laat organisasies toe om waarde uit hul bates te ontgin. PAS 55 (die publieke spesifikasie van die Britse Standaarde Instituut) verskaf ‘n gestandaardiseerde raamwerk vir die implementering van ‘n batebestuurstelsel. Die Internasionale Organisasie vir Standaardisering (ISO) is ook besig om ‘n stel internasionale standaarde te publiseer wat verder poog om batebestuurstelsels te standardiseer. Beide hierdie dokumente beskryf egter slegs wat gedoen moet word, nie hoe dit gedoen moet word nie. Hierdie artikel gee ‘n oorsig van beskikbare numeriese metodes wat organisasies kan gebruik wanneer ‘n batebestuurstelsel geïmplementeer word.
